black adder, thanks that is really helpful. Might I  be so rude to ask what you did about finance?, how did you  pay for the rennovations? did you have the capital ? Im considering whether to get a mortgage for something completed or to do the whole thing slowly.I would appreciate your advice   ada

 oh my good ness, and i cant remember a word of o level french!!   ada.

ohh!!! so much ok, may be I wont be able to do it all at once. If you dont mind , could I ask , just to turn up and buy the thing how much are we talking for legals etc before I start any renovating?   thanks ada.

 hi every one , greetings from australia. I am thinking of buying a barn in the limousine area. i will be in europe from jan when I hope to come and do a reccy. My question is what is the worse case scenario in terms of cost for completely renovating a barn with a good roof and walls , but nothing else ie no rooms , no utilities .. nothing. I would not be doing the work myself , and I am wondering how much the whole thing would cost using local labour. I would be really really grateful for advice/ opinions on this.   many thanks   ada
